Registry: 1959 Triumph 10
|
Michael Rogers's 1959 Triumph 10
|
“Formula Junior”
This is similar to the BMC F/J built by Huffaker in San Francisco, it has a tube chassis, coil front and rear suspension with disk brakes front and drums rear in a live axle It has a Front engine with the usual race tuning: Weber etc. The body is alloy, wheels Triumph factory Magnesium's: 5;00X13" It has no fuel cell or roll over bar that wasn't required then,
I bought it long ago and put it away along with many other treasures! I haven't researched it's history, maybe other triumph enthusiasts will know of it-- I don't think they're many, BMC was well supported so everyone went there until the Anglia engine was discovered and DOMINATED!
Old race cars weren't worth anything when they weren't competitive so were cannibalised and scrapped!
As soon as I get the current project out of the shop I can finish it, of course the engine was pulled for another project by the PO I've another but need to build it.
